In [8]:
# Check unique values in the 'TreeType' column 
print("\nUnique values in the 'TreeType' column:")
print(df['TreeType'].value_counts())
Unique values in the 'TreeType' column:
0    16259
1     1639
Name: TreeType, dtype: int64

Step 2: Comment on class imbalance with appropriate visualization method.

In [9]:
# Check the distribution of the 'TreeType' column
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 5))
sns.countplot(data=df, x='TreeType')
plt.title('Class Distribution')
plt.xlabel('TreeType')
plt.ylabel('Count')
plt.show()
In [10]:
# Calculate the class distribution
class_distribution = df['TreeType'].value_counts(normalize=True)
class_distribution
Out[10]:
0    0.908426
1    0.091574
Name: TreeType, dtype: float64

Note: Step 2 Code Description

1. We use sns.countplot() from Seaborn to create a bar chart that visualizes the distribution of the 'TreeType' column.This chart will show the number of instances for each class.
2. We calculate the class distribution using value_counts(normalize=True) to get the percentage of each class in the target column. This will give quantitative measure of the class imbalance. The code will display a bar chart and print the class distribution as percentages. We can use this visualization to assess the degree of class imbalance in your dataset. If one class is significantly more prevalent than others, it indicates a class imbalance issue that may need to be addressed when training machine learning models.

Step 3: Provide appropriate data visualizations to get an insight about the dataset.

In [11]:
# Select the numeric columns
numeric_columns = df.select_dtypes(include=['float64', 'int64'])

1. Histogram for features: Visualize the distribution of numerical features using histograms.

In [12]:
# Plot histograms for numeric features
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
for i, col in enumerate(numeric_columns.columns):
    plt.subplot(3, 3, i + 1)
    sns.histplot(data=df, x=col, kde=True)
    plt.title(f'Histogram of {col}')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

2. Box Plots for Outlier Detection: Use box plots to visualize the distribution and identify potential outliers in numerical features.

In [13]:
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
for i, col in enumerate(numeric_columns.columns):
    plt.subplot(3, 3, i + 1)
    sns.boxplot(data=df, y=col)
    plt.title(f'Box Plot of {col}')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

3. Pair Plots: Pair plots help visualize pairwise relationships between numerical features. This is useful in classification tasks to see how different classes are distributed with respect to various features.

In [14]:
sns.pairplot(df, hue='TreeType', diag_kind='kde')
plt.title('Pair Plot')
plt.show()

4. Pie Chart for Class Distribution: For 'TreeType' target variable, we can visualize its class distribution with a pie chart. This is helpful for understanding the balance between different classes.

class_distribution = df['TreeType'].value_counts() plt.figure(figsize=(6, 6)) plt.pie(class_distribution, labels=class_distribution.index, autopct='%1.1f%%', startangle=90) plt.title('Class Distribution') plt.show()

Step 4: Provide a visualization of correlation analysis. Justify the effect of correlational analysis on feature selection.

1. Correlational Matrix: Calculate the correlational matrix

In [15]:
# Calculate the correlation matrix
correlation_matrix = df.corr()

# Create a heatmap to visualize the correlations
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8))
sns.heatmap(correlation_matrix, annot=True, cmap='coolwarm', fmt=".2f")
plt.title('Correlation Heatmap')
plt.show()

2. Effect of Correlational Analysis on Feature Selection: Performing a correlation analysis on your dataset can help identify relationships between numeric features and can guide feature selection. Correlation analysis is useful for understanding which features are highly correlated with each other, which can be important for various tasks, including feature selection and multicollinearity assessment.

1. Identifying Highly Correlated Features: - The correlation heatmap provides a clear visual representation of the relationships between numeric features in dataset. - Highly correlated features (those with values close to 1 or -1) can indicate redundancy in dataset. - Feature selection methods often consider removing one of the highly correlated features to reduce multicollinearity, which can improve the stability and interpretability of predictive models.

2. Selecting Relevant Features: - Correlation analysis can help you identify features that have strong correlations with the target variable. - Features with higher correlations with the target are more likely to be relevant for classification or prediction tasks. - During feature selection, you may prioritize retaining features with higher correlations with the target, as they can contribute more to the predictive power of your model.

3. Dimensionality Reduction: - Correlation analysis can guide dimensionality reduction by identifying features that are less informative or redundant. - Reducing the number of features can lead to simpler models, faster training times, and potentially better generalization.

4. Feature Engineering: - Correlation analysis can inspire feature engineering by suggesting potential interaction features. - Interaction features are created by combining or transforming existing features in a meaningful way and can capture important relationships between features.

5. Model Interpretability: - Removing irrelevant or highly correlated features can improve model interpretability by reducing complexity and noise in the data. Correlational analysis plays a crucial role in feature selection by helping you identify redundant, irrelevant, or highly influential features in your dataset. It guides the process of choosing the most informative and non-redundant features, which can lead to better model performance, model interpretability, and more efficient use of computational resources.

Section 3: Data Pre-processing and cleaning

Step 1: Perform appropriate pre-processing of the data like identifying NULL or Missing Values if any, handling of outliers if present in the dataset, skewed data etc. mention the pre-processing steps performed in the markdown cell. Explore a few latest data balancing tasks and its effect on model evaluation parameters.

a. Identify Null or Missing values
In [16]:
# Check for missing values
missing_values = df.isnull().sum()
missing_values
Out[16]:
LeafLength            0
LeafBreadth           0
ErrorLeafLength       0
ErrorLeafBreadth      0
LeafCurveAngle        0
EdgeCurvatureAngle    0
ErrorLeafCurvature    0
TreeLength            0
TreeType              0
dtype: int64

Justification: As there are no missing values, no special handling is required.

b. Handle Outliers
In [17]:
# Detect and handle outliers using z-scores or IQR method
def remove_outliers_iqr(data, col):
    Q1 = data[col].quantile(0.05)
    Q3 = data[col].quantile(0.95)
    IQR = Q3 - Q1
    lower_bound = Q1 - 1.5 * IQR
    upper_bound = Q3 + 1.5 * IQR
    data = data[(data[col] >= lower_bound) & (data[col] <= upper_bound)]
    return data
In [18]:
# Remove outliers from a specific numeric column
for feature in features:
    df = remove_outliers_iqr(df, feature)

Description:

1. We define a function remove_outliers_iqr() that takes a DataFrame and a specific column as input and removes outliers based on the IQR method. The function calculates the lower and upper bounds for outliers and retains only the data points within these bounds.
2. We then call this function for a specific numeric column (from the list of features) to remove outliers. The iteration perform the same operation for all features.

c. Handle Data Skewness: Using Logarithmic transformations
In [19]:
# Select numeric columns to check for skewness
numeric_features = df.select_dtypes(include=['float64', 'int64']).columns
In [20]:
# Create a copy of the DataFrame for skewness handling
df_cleaned_log = df.copy()
In [21]:
# Apply log transformation to columns with skewness above the threshold
for features in numeric_features:
        df_cleaned_log[features] = np.log1p(df[features])
/Users/awaneeshtiwari/anaconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/core/arraylike.py:402: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in log1p
  result = getattr(ufunc, method)(*inputs, **kwargs)

Description:

1. We first identify numeric columns in the DataFrame.
2. We create a copy of the original DataFrame to perform the skewness handling without modifying the original data.
3. We loop through each numeric column, calculate its skewness using stats.skew(), and apply the log transformation (np.log1p()) if the skewness exceeds the threshold.

d. Data Visualization after preprocessing
In [22]:
# Plot histograms for numeric features
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
for i, col in enumerate(numeric_columns.columns):
    plt.subplot(3, 3, i + 1)
    sns.histplot(data=df_cleaned_log, x=col, kde=True)
    plt.title(f'Histogram of {col}')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
In [23]:
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
for i, col in enumerate(numeric_columns.columns):
    plt.subplot(3, 3, i + 1)
    sns.boxplot(data=df_cleaned_log, y=col)
    plt.title(f'Box Plot of {col}')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
In [ ]:
sns.pairplot(df_cleaned_log, hue='TreeType', diag_kind='kde')
plt.title('Pair Plot')
plt.show()

e. Latest Data Balancing tasks

Following are some of the data balancing tasks and there impacts:

In [ ]:
# Separate the majority and minority classes
df_majority = df[df['TreeType'] == 0]
df_minority = df[df['TreeType'] == 1]

1. Random Undersampling

Random undersampling is a technique to balance the class distribution by randomly removing instances from the majority class.

In [ ]:
# Determine the number of samples in the minority class
minority_count = len(df_minority)
minority_count
Out[ ]:
1215
In [ ]:
# Perform random undersampling on the majority class
df_majority_downsampled = resample(df_majority, replace=False, n_samples=minority_count, random_state=42)
In [ ]:
# Combine the downsampled majority class with the minority class
df_balanced_by_undersampling = pd.concat([df_majority_downsampled, df_minority])
In [ ]:
# Check the class distribution in the balanced dataset
class_counts = df_balanced_by_undersampling['TreeType'].value_counts()
class_counts
Out[ ]:
0    1215
1    1215
Name: TreeType, dtype: int64

2. Random Oversampling

Random oversampling is a technique used to balance the class distribution by randomly duplicating instances from the minority class.

In [30]:
# Determine the number of samples in the majority class
majority_count = len(df_majority)
majority_count
Out[30]:
16117
In [31]:
# Perform random oversampling on the minority class
df_minority_upsampled = resample(df_minority, replace=True, n_samples=majority_count, random_state=42)
In [32]:
# Combine the upsampled minority class with the majority class
df_balanced_by_oversampling = pd.concat([df_majority, df_minority_upsampled])
In [33]:
# Check the class distribution in the balanced dataset
class_counts = df_balanced_by_oversampling['TreeType'].value_counts()
class_counts
Out[33]:
0    16117
1    16117
Name: TreeType, dtype: int64

3. Effect on Model Evaluation Parameters

a. Accuracy: Data balancing can improve accuracy by reducing the bias toward the majority class. However, it may not be the most reliable metric for imbalanced datasets.
b. Precision: Precision measures the ability of the model to correctly identify positive cases. Balancing data can increase precision for the minority class, reducing false positives.
c. Recall (Sensitivity): Recall measures the ability of the model to correctly identify all positive cases. Balancing data can increase recall for the minority class, reducing false negatives.
d. F1-Score: The F1-score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall. It provides a balanced measure of a model's performance and can improve with data balancing.
e. AUC-ROC: The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC-ROC) measures a model's ability to distinguish between classes. Balancing data can improve the AUC-ROC score, indicating better discrimination.
f. Confusion Matrix: Data balancing can affect the composition of the confusion matrix, leading to different counts of true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives.

Step 2: Feature Engineering, Feature Transformation and Feature Importance

Feature engineering is an essential step in preparing dataset for machine learning. It involves selecting,creating, or transforming features to improve model performance. In the context of the provided dataset, we can explore several feature engineering techniques and feature importance methods. Following is step by step procedures to perform feature engineeing, transformation and importance in the context of the problem:-

1. Data Preparation: Load the dataset and split it into features (X) and the target variable (y).

In [34]:
# Split into features (X) and target variable (y)
X = df.drop('TreeType', axis=1)
y = df['TreeType']

2. Feature Engineering: Create new features or transform existing ones based on domain knowledge and the dataset characteristics.

In [35]:
# 1. Feature Engineering: Create 'LengthBreadthRatio' feature
X['LengthBreadthRatio'] = X['LeafLength'] / X['LeafBreadth']
In [36]:
# 2. Feature Engineering: Create 'Leaf Area' feature
df['LeafArea'] = df['LeafLength'] * df['LeafBreadth']
In [37]:
# 3. Feature Engineering: Create 'Error Magnitude' feature
df['ErrorMagnitude'] = np.sqrt(df['ErrorLeafLength']**2 + df['ErrorLeafBreadth']**2)
In [38]:
# 4. Feature Engineering: Create 'Leaf Curvature Product' feature
df['LeafCurvatureProduct'] = df['LeafCurveAngle'] * df['EdgeCurvatureAngle']
In [39]:
# 5. Feature Engineering: Create 'Total Error' feature
df['TotalError'] = np.abs(df['ErrorLeafLength']) + np.abs(df['ErrorLeafBreadth'])

3. Feature Transformation: Apply feature transformation techniques like Standardization and Normalization.

In [40]:
# Standardization
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_standardized = scaler.fit_transform(X)
In [41]:
# Normalization
min_max_scaler = MinMaxScaler()
X_normalized = min_max_scaler.fit_transform(X)

4. Feature Importance: Use feature importance methods to identify the most relevant features.

Random Forest Feature Importance:

In [42]:
# Create a Random Forest classifier - standard
clf_rf_standardized = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42)
clf_rf_standardized.fit(X_standardized, y)
Out[42]:
RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42)
In [43]:
# Create a Random Forest classifier - normal
clf_rf_normalized = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42)
clf_rf_normalized.fit(X_normalized, y)
Out[43]:
RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42)
In [44]:
# Get feature importances
feature_importance_standardized_rf = clf_rf_standardized.feature_importances_
In [45]:
# Get feature importances
feature_importance_normalized_rf = clf_rf_normalized.feature_importances_

SelectKBest Feature Importance with Mutual Information:

In [46]:
# Select the top 5 features based on mutual information
selector = SelectKBest(mutual_info_classif, k=8)
X_selected_standardized = selector.fit_transform(X_standardized, y)
In [47]:
X_selected_normalized = selector.fit_transform(X_normalized, y)

Section 4: Model Building

Step 1: Spliting the data set into training and test data sets:

1. Train-Test Split (80% - 20%):In this standard split, we allocate 80% of the data for training and 20% for testing. This split provides a reasonable balance between having enough data for training and a separate set for testing model generalization.

In [48]:
# Assuming you have your preprocessed and feature-engineered data in X_standardized and y
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X_standardized, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

2. Custom Train-Test Split (70% - 30%):This might be suitable if we have a large dataset and want to allocate more data for training or if we are dealing with a particularly challenging problem where we need more data for evaluation.

In [49]:
# Custom Train-Test Split (70% - 30%)
X_train_custom, X_test_custom, y_train_custom, y_test_custom = train_test_split(X_standardized, y, test_size=0.3, 
                                                                                random_state=42)

3. Custom Train-Test Split (90% - 10%):We can opt for a more conservative split, such as 90% for training and 10% for testing. This is suitable when we have a very limited dataset and want to ensure we have a substantial amount for model training.

In [50]:
# Custom Train-Test Split (90% - 10%)
X_train_custom2, X_test_custom2, y_train_custom2, y_test_custom2 = train_test_split(X_standardized, y, test_size=0.1,
                                                                                    random_state=42)
Step 2: Random Forest Classification Model

a. Hyperparameter tuning: Hyperparameter tuning helps optimize the performance of the Random Forest model. Common hyperparameters to tune include the number of trees (n_estimators), the maximum depth of the trees (max_depth), and other parameters related to tree construction and splitting. We use cross-validation to tune the hyperparameters.
Justification:This approach helps prevent overfitting and ensures that the model generalizes well to unseen data.

In [51]:
# Create a Random Forest classifier
rf_classifier = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42)
In [52]:
# Define the hyperparameter grid
param_grid = {
    'n_estimators': [50, 100, 150],
    'max_depth': [None, 10, 20, 30]
}
In [53]:
# Perform grid search with 5-fold cross-validation
grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator=rf_classifier, param_grid=param_grid, cv=5, scoring='accuracy')
grid_search.fit(X_train, y_train)
Out[53]:
GridSearchCV(cv=5, estimator=RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42),
             param_grid={'max_depth': [None, 10, 20, 30],
                         'n_estimators': [50, 100, 150]},
             scoring='accuracy')
In [54]:
# Get the best hyperparameters
best_params = grid_search.best_params_
b. Model Training
In [55]:
# Instantiate the Random Forest classifier with the best hyperparameters
best_rf_classifier = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42, n_estimators=best_params['n_estimators'], 
                                            max_depth=best_params['max_depth'])

# Train the classifier on the training data
best_rf_classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)
Out[55]:
RandomForestClassifier(max_depth=20, random_state=42)
c. Model Evaluation

We are using accuracy, precision, recall, and the F1-score as evaluation metrics to provide a comprehensive view of the model's performance. The confusion matrix helps us understand the distribution of true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives. This approach ensures that the Random Forest classification model is well-optimized and its performance is thoroughly evaluated.

In [56]:
# Make predictions on the test data
y_pred = best_rf_classifier.predict(X_test)
In [57]:
# Evaluate the model
classification_dict = classification_report(y_test, y_pred, output_dict=True)
classification_rep = pd.DataFrame(classification_dict).transpose()
classification_rep
Out[57]:
precision recall f1-score support
0 0.982061 0.996299 0.989129 3242.000000
1 0.932584 0.737778 0.823821 225.000000

weighted avg 0.978850 0.979521 0.978401 3467.000000
In [58]:
confusion_mat = confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred)

Step 3: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classification model

a. Hyperparameter tuning: To determine the optimal value of k, you can perform hyperparameter tuning using cross-validation. We'll use a grid search to find the best k value.
Justification:This approach helps prevent overfitting and ensures that the model generalizes well to unseen data.

In [60]:
# Create a KNN classifier
knn_classifier = KNeighborsClassifier()
In [61]:
# Define the hyperparameter grid
param_grid = {
    'n_neighbors': [3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
}
In [62]:
# Perform grid search with 5-fold cross-validation
grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator=knn_classifier, param_grid=param_grid, cv=5, scoring='accuracy')
grid_search.fit(X_train, y_train)

Step 2: Insights into model evaluation

a. Metrics Analysis

From the provided metrics (precision, recall, and F1-score), we can observe the following:
1. Random Forest (RF) has a higher precision (0.982) compared to K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) (0.983). Both models have high precision, indicating they make fewer false positive predictions.
2. Random Forest (RF) also has a higher recall (0.996) compared to K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) (0.995). Recall measures the model's ability to capture positive cases, and RF has a slightly better performance in this regard.
3. Random Forest (RF) has a slightly higher F1-score (0.989) compared to K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) (0.989). The F1-score balances precision and recall, and both models have excellent F1-scores.
Based on these metrics alone, it appears that Random Forest (RF) has a slight edge in terms of precision, recall, and F1-score.
Conclusion: Considering the provided metrics and additional parameters, Random Forest (RF) appears to be the better-performing model in terms of precision, recall, and F1-score. It also offers advantages in computational efficiency and scalability, making it a suitable choice for problem statement.
